Hello everyone!
This month I will comment briefly the main topics we discussed in
Social and Emotional Learning lessons. In Secondary section we reviewed
resilience as an important value, not only related to our goals, but also with
our well-being. After that, we introduced the concept of mindset,
distinguishing between fixed and growth mindset and how these different
approach can determinate how students face challenges in their lives.
Students
learned the importance of not giving up and seeking new challenges through
different class activities. They were totally engaged and they tried hard in
order to get success. Sometimes frustration could appear but then they started to see obstacles with a growth mindset attitude, which kept them trying
different solutions.
In Primary section we learned about
cooperation and peaceful ways to solve conflicts, emphasizing “win-win”
situations. Students understood how important is help each other and sharing if
we want to reach our goals as a group. We played some cooperative games during
the lessons as well as some roleplays to practice the new skills to handle
conflicts.
I hope that all this set of new
social and emotional abilities can help our students in the last part of the
school year, right now when they need to show more resiliency, energy and
effort. I am sure they will appreciate all they learned through this year and
it will have a great impact in their way to perceive challenges.
Thank you all for your kind cooperation.
